''"There was another brutal murder in [[Hove Beach]] today. This time, however, police do not believe it is related to the ever-tightening hold of the [[RussianMafia]]on the area. The victim, a Mr. [[Tom Rivas]], had told the owner of the [[69th Street Diner]] that he was on a "hot date". He was then seen in a romantic context with an older, " foreign-looking" man. Moments later, he was dead. Mr. Rivas was unemployed but is reported to have had a number of older boyfriends who supported him. Police are currently pursuing all leads in the hope that one will lead them to the killer."''

After the cutscene finishes, go to the nearest [[TW@]] Internet Cafe. Walk inside and log onto a computer. Click on the [[Love-Meet.net|Love-Meet advertisement]], and click on "Male". Scroll down until you find the user [[Tom Rivas|"FrenchTom"]], click on him. Now scroll down and click on "Date". Exit the computer and leave the cafe (you can rob the cash register for $30-$500, but you will get a one-star wanted level). The mission will enter intermission upon exiting the cafe.

===Intermission===

−

−

Do some missions or just roam around and after 2-4 game days. Roman will call and ask if Niko has been on his "gay date" yet. Rivas will have reply via e-mail, so check them. The date will be usually 12:00am or 12:00pm the next day/night. Check your phone to be sure when the date is. Two hours before the date, the symbol will appear; grab a taxi and go to The 69th Street Diner.

===''…Out of the Closet'' (<small>Part 2</small>)===

Walk inside and you can pop a bullet in his head from where you are if you know where he is or go search for him. Listen to him ramble on and when you are ready, stand up (button is provided) and shoot him (and get away from the area). You will probably have a wanted level so use the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] around the corner. Russian criminals may fire on Niko, so beware.
